Gibson, Mirotic, Portis front line would get pounded inside. Jesus. Why the hell do you guys want to trade Gasol?
He is a top 5 center and if your math analytics say otherwise they are too boxy and aren't being interpreted or equations formed by smart enough people.
Fucktards man. Gasol is phenomenal. You guys are insane. You want the best player at every position.
I'm loving Mirotic at the SF spit. He is extra long and it's a good spot to develop him into a starter. He gives you versatility because he can guard 4's with length and can grow to guard 5's by adding strength and small ball 5's already.
We also have Snell, and we are damn lucky to have a scoring machine in Doug at back up SF. All you guys do is clamor for a SF and we have like 5 guys that can play the position. We have a nearly perfectly balanced roster, and are in waiting mode to see how good Rose can get. That's how good we will be, no more, no less.
It's all on Rose and with his contract that's how it should be. It isn't the worst position to be in in the NBA, accept it. We don't have much to trade that wouldn't hurt us that could bring anything back. We are frustratingly stagnant but you have to just accept it and move on. We are much better than most of you realize. That makes this process even more frustrating.
You have your star players, and then you have to build role players around them that compliment them. This front office has done a fantastic job of that.
You trade Noah because he is a poor fit to his teammates and system. A future second is fine, he has very little value to this NBA. He might be worth his salary though, and if he gives us a defensive tool and emotional edge and teaches Portis things than maybe he should stay here and give us that competitive edge of unfinished business against our gravest enemies.
Gibson is playing too well. If Sacramento blew up their ship I would be ok with trying to acquire *** or Cousins at fair value.
The best thing for us is to roll the continuity card and stick together. Gasol looks like he is starting to enjoy his teammates at times, maybe he stays. ?? We should sign him if he wants to, he impacts the game in many ways. He is an all star and fucking awesome. I love his game.
Who are you people? Unless you can acquire Durant, Westbrook, Cousins, or other players who play beyond max contract value you can't improve this team.
We have a rare opportunity if the Kings can pick 12th or so, and give us something for Deng. For that reason I would trade Noah for a second, and Snell, to stockpile picks if you could even get that for them. If not keep them.
All ammo we can acquire to add that SF or future PG in that 5-10 lottery range on a trade up from Kings pick, because other than free agency where we may have a max slot to offer in the void of Noah and Gasol if they walk, that is our only chance at significant improvement.
Our other stock is in the development of Portis, Mirotic, and McDermott.
Another reason to get what value you can for Noah, Gibson, Snell. If the previous 3 can't fill that void, then you failed. Or you roll with what you got.
Look, the Rose situation is very frustrating, particularly because of how he views his own value. And **** it all to hell because he might actually get his value to return to near max value just as this contract expires. Lol. What can you do?
You either pay him his value or let him walk. It comes down to if you believe he can be part of the championship formula at his value point. We don't have to make that decision today, so don't.
The front office job is to give us the best chance at success and u think they have just about done that.
Trading something with actual value like Mirotic...I mean that's the real tough decision they have to make. We have too many high end role player bodies for a trio of superstars that are just a tiche low end, because of Roses health.
I say believe in what we have. If Gasol walks then we have money. Try to keep him unless you can get Cousins in free agency. Dunleavy was a stupid contract to complicate things given the young players behind him.
Is Noah leadership worth his value in expiring contract because he has no basketball value in this NBA?
Look we are stuck with this group, but it's a good group. I wish you would spend your time supporting the chance we have rather than bitching about things we don't, so I don't have to waste my time on a pointless tirade of backlash.
You make me sick, spineless quiting jellyfish without a clue.
